I want to vent about something. It seems that if a file is outside the project folder, the "Rename" in Xcode 3.0 does not actually change the file name on disk, just its display name in the project. I suppose I'm being "protected" from doing something bad, but I'm not sure what it is. IMO this was a very bad design change. Rename the .h for a class and you suddenly have 100 errors and have to switch to the Finder to see what's really going on. Xcode 2.x actually changed the file name on disk: it was simple, straightforward, and predictable. Change it back in Xcode 4.x..

I can reproduce this bug on my machine if I have SCM turned on for the project, so I'm going to file a bug on it.


That's all it is, though, a bug, not a design change. The SCM system got a thorough overhaul in Xcode 3.0, and should be faster and more reliable, but some edge cases weren't caught.
